Finally. Common sense is coming back.
From the KansasCityStar.com:
Secretary of State Kris Kobach announces first conviction of noncitizen voting in Kansas
by Hunter Woodall
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said Wednesday that he has obtained his first conviction of a person who illegally voted in a Kansas election without being a U.S. citizen.
Kobach, who has advised President Donald Trump on immigration and voter fraud, said that Victor David Garcia Bebek has pleaded guilty to voter fraud.
Kobach, a Republican, is the only secretary of state in the country with the authority to prosecute voter fraud.
Why is that? Who determines this?
“No matter how many cases we prosecute the political left will always whine that there’s not enough cases to justify protecting our elections in this way,” Kobach said in a phone interview. “That’s absurd.”
The conviction of Bebek was the eighth for Kobach since he gained the authority to prosecute voter fraud in 2015, his office said.
“Political left.” Kobach is quite astute. And precise.
“This conviction shows how important prosecutorial authority is,” Kobach said.
Bebek will be on unsupervised probation for up to three years and pay a fine of $5,000, according to a statement from Kobach’s office.
Kobach found that Bebek illegally voted three times: in a 2012 special election and the 2012 and 2014 general elections. He was a Peruvian national at the time who voted in Sedgwick County, according to Kobach.
What I discovered is that Kansas Secretary of State Kobach acquired the authority to do so when Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill in 2015 providing Kobach that power.
Kobach has continued to defend the state’s voting laws, which requires photo identification and forces new Kansas voters to prove they are U.S. citizens if they register using the state’s voting form.
Everyone knows, however, that requiring photo ID to vote is discriminatory and diminishes the ability of minorities to vote because they can’t figure out how to acquire identification. Mostly impoverished blacks. Right? Of course. Voter ID laws are discriminatory.
That’s what Leftists believe. What do American blacks in Berserkeley, Fornicalia believe?
Wait. Why is it that I had to try like hell to find a video on YouTube, that veritable bastion of Leftist dogma, stating that voter ID was outright racist? Don’t take my word for it. Go to YouTube, enter VOTER ID LAWS RACIST and see what you get.
You must ask yourself one very basic and fundamental question when dealing with voter fraud and/or illegal voting.
Why would you not want to prosecute these cases?
Voter fraud fundamentally undermines the confidence America has in one of our most basic rights, that of one person/one vote. The ability to have our voices heard properly and, more important, reflected accurately.
Leftist responses might be something on the order of “doing so produces a ‘chilling affect’ on those least represented in society.’ ”
To that I would say, in my most strident voice: yep. That’s exactly what I want. A chilling affect so that potential fraudsters think twice.
So: why would you not want to prosecute these cases?
Because the bulk of voter fraud occurs on behalf of the Demorats via Leftists and illegals.
Think about it.
If it were the other way around, Demorats and Leftists would be shouting from the mountaintops that we must have voter ID laws nationally.
You’re welcome.
